CHILDREN OF THE MIND

A cast including Gabrielle de Cuir and David Birney portray the many characters in Book 4 of the Ender Quartet. The characters vary widely in origin, personality, and ideology. De Cuir begins the story with the convincing Asian accent of a Chinese woman and then seamlessly transitions into an American character. Birney develops the character of the acerbic Peter, while Stefan Rudnicki's depiction of the all-knowing Ender emphasizes their different personalities. CHILDREN OF THE MIND details many story lines across the universe, and the transitions between these subplots are sometimes difficult to follow. However, the narrators are expert at giving the characters individual flair. Listeners should prepare to enter Card's world with the previous stories fresh in their minds.
